We invite you to the 2019 edition of the SPHERIC international workshop, devoted to the promotion and development of the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics method, that will take place at the University of Exeter (UK) from the 25th to the 27th of June 2019. The SPHERIC Workshop is the definitive global meeting focused on the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) computational method and related meshless particle approaches. Some examples of the research topics are:

• Interaction with solids and complex structures
• Free surface flows and moving boundaries applications
• Multi-phase flows and multiple continua
• Viscosity and turbulence modelling
• Incompressible flows
• Numerics:
  
  • High-Performance Computing
  • Hardware acceleration and GPU computing
  • Visualization methods

Special attention will also be payed to the development of applications of the SPH method. Some examples are:

• Application to Industry
• Astrophysics
• Maritime and naval architecture applications
• Hydraulic applications
• Microfluidics
• Disaster simulations
• Solids and Fracture Mechanics

Before the main workshop, the optional training day on the 24th of June will provide an intensive theoretical and hands-on introduction to state-of-the-art SPH. This is ideal for students beginning their work in the field, but will also be of interest to seasoned researchers who want to explore specific themes in depth, or experience latest developments in SPH software.

The registration process and call for abstract submission is now open.

All the relevant deadlines and detailed information can be found at the conference webpage:

The deadline for abstract submission is the 18th of February. Contributions from all areas and applications of the SPH method are extremely welcome.
